According to the Community season 1, Halloween episode... for dia de los muertos everyone gets a tombstone cookie with their name on. 
The howls of rage when I discovered He was playing MY Barnabas! 
The tombstone cookie idea, I shall use that thanks!
I was reading up on Halloween and its apparently Irish tradition to bake a coin and a ring into barmbrack. Whoever gets the ring will be married within the year, the one with the coin will be rich.
Depp playing Barnabas 
Sacrilege!
I can't think of what is particularly Scottish about Halloween... I know there is stuff... *bad scot, bad*
*nods* An affront to Jonathon Frid. *shakes fist in direction of Hollywood*
Its Celtic isn't it, so very old Scottish. I never heard the word "guising" before you said it - so thats Scottish probably?
Probably, yes, guising... samhain, possibly too?
Samhain indeed
We Scots and Irish are pagans deep down *nods*
Aye. Most of the Christmas and Easter thingies are Pagan too.
Sadness... No more Ceefax as of today. 
Aww that is sad, Ceefax was great. I think of it as the forerunner of the internet
I shall have to start up a photobucket account. They don't plague you with emails and stuff do they? I have a couple of emails for undesirables and when I don't want my actual name to appear 
I haven't had any... I'm pretty sure I signed up using an email I still use.
Thats good to know thanks.
How is your back feeling?
Back is ok, thank you for asking.
Mum's birthday today. Amazon order with her birthday present (and her xmas) came today, in time, 2 days earlier than they said. Good old Amazon. *huggles the Amazon*
Happy Birthday to your Mum Hitch 
Good old Amazon *nods*
I see you've made your Halloween thread, I am going to take a nosey.
Ok, first impression of the thread is...
Oh! how I wish if people don't like/agree with stuff, they would keep it to one mention and let the others get on with it. lol
I just bought ÂĢ5s worth of halloween sweets to make up for the ÂĢ1 bag I ate. *ahem*
Thanks. Someone asked me to start one in another thread, so that was all I needed 
. We're having OUR Halloween party in here too hopefully?
lol at the sweets. I bought five bags of nuts for Halloween and I'm on the fourth. Will need more stocks 
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
*ahem*
Thats the spirit... muhahahahaaah.
Any ideas for music? The Harry Potter theme comes to mind [ Classic FM usually play it at Halloween so its got associations for me ].
The Omen music... that usually does the trick too.
Monster Mash? There's a song John peel used to play about a mummy, I liked that... That's Death from the "Discworld 2: Missing Presumed?" game, "A Wizard's staff has a knob on the end", the Echo and the Bunnymen song from Lost Boys?
I will have more thinks. You'd think there would be more obvious songs for a rock fan. lol
Oh yeah Monster Mash! Thats a great sugggestion *goes on list*
People Are Strange from the Lost Boys is 
though I haven't seen the movie.
